(I'm not sure if that's true or not but it is what I heard)
So, if you guys recommend any lever actions in .22LR that shoots very accurately for under $1,000
I'm keen as to hear about it!
The mechanism of the lever-action generally works against precision shooting, though modern rotating-bolt, box-magazine rifles address that quite well, in centrefire.
Scoped off the bench, my Henry is good for around 2.5MoA for fifteen rounds at 100m, my Norinco JW21 is good for 2MoA, not a lot in it, but the JW21 is more accurate for me. But I normally shoot them both with Williams peep sights, with which both give me around the 4-5MoA (120mm to 150mm) mark off the bench at 100m. That's more indicative of my eyesight than either rifle though, testing with a scope is a better indicator of a rifle's abiity.
The JW21 is a licence-built Chinese copy of the Winchester 9422, which is no longer made.
